BLOOM WITHOUT COSMETICS.
New Way OF bringing Roses to Fair Cheeks

A neat little house on Pine street. not
taT west u Broad, has been. for some
t.#." pas, the object of considerable at
'r-.j.oa among the residents OF that
nri-hhorhood. The suspicion arose from
the fact that every dav the house is
VISITED by quite a number OF ladies
-|.giuG in age from sixteen to sixty.
- Prrlor OF the house is occupied a. an
.s..st@ hv young physician. It has lately
crt ,isnoE"r"d that ne i5 engaged in a
LIost remarkable business.

- Indebted FOR an explanation ofa secret,
.Aicl the majority OF many rosy
CHECKED maidens who promenade Chest
nut street would prefer to remain un-
discovered. The visits Of the Young
Indies To the doctor are for no other pur-
pose than to get healthy color; not
painted, but genuine healthy color.
Ncws-gathcrer was fortunate
enough to have, through the courtesy of
the producer of the d" rosy blush" an
opportunity OF witnessing the operation

to introduce the new method OF an aIti-
fetal bloom OF health in female faces.
II takes from three to five visits to
MAKE the '' rose permanent. The treat
mont l. painless and the girls seem rather
to enjoy il.
The young lady who was being oper-
atcd upon during the reporters visit was
palc-chceked lass from uptown, whose
face needed but the roses to make her
interesting. She was undergoing the
first course. Under the impression that
the visitor was d student she made no
objection to his presence.
The doctor began his operations with
soft, dry towel, with which he rubbed
both cheeks of the patient until they
glOwcd. Then he alternately patted and

u..lil the blood was brought sufficiently
near the surface TO make the girl look as
If she had been standing over q hot fire
cooking q Christmas dinner.
After rest of ten minutes the process
was renewed, and before that was over
there was u spot on each cheek that
glowed like a burning coal. This had TO
be toned down, and the toning was done
10y application of an ointment rubbed into
the skin with piece of soft SheepSkin,
SO that when this was done the young
lady, who came in pale-cheeked and col
Orless, left the office with pair of roses
that will be the admiration and envy of
her uninitiatcd companions. This pro-
cess is continued for several successive
days until the bloom becomes permanent.
